KFP serves as a statewide advocate of policies that will reduce the use of alcohol and other drugs by youth and promote healthy communities. KFP develops an annual advocacy agenda and enlists others in prevention to become active advocates. KFP has assisted in raising awareness about underage drinking and most recently, the loophole in Paul's Law, which the Kansas Legislature fixed during the 2007 Session.  KFP, along with other partners, also played an important role in the passage of keg registration legislation.
